Along with the benefits of emerging generative AI services come new hazards. PassGAN, a sophisticated solution to password cracking, has just emerged. Using the most recent AI, it was able to hack 51% of passwords in under a minute and crack 71% of passwords in less than a day.
Microsoft raised attention to the security problems that would accompany the rapid growth of AI last month when it announced its new Security Copilot suite, which will assist security researchers in protecting against malicious use of current technologies.
Home Security Heroes recently released a study demonstrating how frighteningly powerful the latest generative AI is at cracking passwords. The company ran a list of over 15,000,000 credentials from the Rockyou dataset through the new password cracker PassGAN (password generative adversarial network), and the results were shocking.
51% of all popular passwords were broken in under a minute, 65% in under an hour, 71% in under a day, and 81% in under a month. PassGAN is able to “autonomously learn the distribution of real passwords from actual password leaks,” which is why AI is making such a difference in password cracking. Rather than having to do manual password analysis on leaked password databases, PassGAN is able to “autonomously learn the distribution of real passwords from actual password leaks.”
